These spaces provide guidance for the expected length of response. Show all relevant working in questions involving calculations. Question 21. (5 marks) Justify the development in technology from the lead acid or the dry cell to another battery with reference to their chemistry, cost and practicality.
Marks 5
Sample answer: Development from dry cell to the alkaline battery Chemistry: The dry cell has a Zn anode: Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− [e° = −1.04 volts] and a graphite rod surrounded manganese(IV) oxide and carbon as cathode.: 2MnO2(s) + 2 e− + 2NH4Cl(aq) → Mn2O3(s) + 2NH3(aq) + H2O(aq) + 2 Cl− [e° ≈ +.5 v] With overall reaction: Zn(s) + 2MnO2(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) → Mn2O3(s) + Zn(NH3)2Cl2 (aq) + H2O(l) The alkaline battery has a zinc anode also Zn (s) + 2OH-(aq) → ZnO (s) + H2O (l) + 2e− 2MnO2 (s) + H2O (l) + 2e− →Mn2O3 (s) + 2OH− (aq) The overall reaction: Zn (s) + 2OH-(aq) 2MnO2 (s) → ZnO (s) + Mn2O3 (s) + 2OH− (aq) Practicality: The dry cell or Leclange battery is cheap to produce but has a short shelf life since the zinc anode (the can) is attacked by the ammonium chloride. (see equation)The voltage falls during use due to a drop in electrolyte concentration around the cathode due to the lag in the diffusion of Mn2O3 away from the cathode. It is therefore suitable only for use with low demand equipment. With the poor practicality of the dry cell, a “new” comparatively as cheap cell has been developed: the alkaline battery. The anode is made of zinc powder which allows for a greater surface area resulting in an increased rate of reaction and hence a greater rate of electron flow. The cathode is similar to the dry cell but the electrolyte is potassium hydroxide rather than ammonium chloride. This does not cause the extensive corrosion of the zinc anode. Alkaline cells last longer, is more practical and only slightly more expensive than a dry cell, can be used in appliances which require intermittent bursts of high current such as a toy car. Therefore, the development of the alkaline battery is justified considering the deficiencies of the Leclange cell. JRAHS HSC Chemistry TRIAL Exam 2013_answers

According to Le Chatelier, increasing the pressure will favour the system that occupies less space and hence the one with less moles of gas. There is one mole of gas in the reactant side but none in the product side and hence, an increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right. Marking Guidelines

Equilibrium equation of a buffer system: CH3COOH(aq) + H2O (l)

When a base is added to the buffer, H3O+ ion combines with the added OH- neutralizing it. This depletes the H3O+ , in the product side, which according to Le Chatelier’s principle is replenished by the equilibrium shifting to the right and ionising the acetic acid.

A 25 - ml pipette was rinsed with vinegar. The pipette was used to measure out 25.00 mL of the vinegar into a 250- mL volumetric flask, previously rinsed with demineralised water. The volumetric flask was topped up with demineralised water to the mark (the fill line) with a fine dropper or wash bottle The solution was mixed well by inverting several times, keeping the thumb on the stopper of the volumetric flask. The 25 - ml pipette was rinsed several times with the diluted vinegar solution. Twenty five ( 25.00) mL of the diluted vinegar solution was transferred into a conical flask previously rinsed with demineralised water. A 50-mL burette was rinsed several times with the standard NaOH solution. The burette was filled with the NaOH solution ensuring that the level of solution was below the 0.00 mL graduation. It was ensured that there were no air bubbles in the burette tip before recording the initial burette reading. About two to three drops phenolphthalein indicator was added to the vinegar solution and mixed. The standard NaOH solution was added, with swirling from the burette, dropwise into the vinegar solution until the solution developed a permanent faint pink colour. The final burette reading was taken. Marking guidelines The instruction must include correct:

Question 32 (3 marks) Explain why the Haber process is a delicate balancing act involving reaction energy, reaction rate and equilibrium.
3
Outcome:H8 Sample Answer: The reaction rate needs a high enough temperature so that the particles have enough energy for successful collisions to occur, but the reaction is exothermic so too high a temperature will cause the reverse reaction to occur thus reduce the yield of ammonia. Thus a compromise temperature of 400-5000C is required to maximise yield at a reasonable rate of reaction.

Sample Answer Sulfur is extracted from mineral deposits using the Frasch process. A hole is drilled through the overlying rock and 3 pipes are inserted into the drill hole. The outer pipes contain superheated steam which is pumped down to the deposit where it melts the sulfur, as the melting point of sulfur is quite low. Air is pumped down the second pipe to force the sulfur in water emulsion back out to the surface through the third pipe. As the water cools the sulfur solidifies and is filtered out.

Brine is used in the production of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Compare the use of brine in one method of sodium hydroxide production with the use of brine in the production method of sodium carbonate and assess any environmental impacts of the production methods.
7
Sample Answer Both the production of NaOH and Na2CO3 start with concentrated brine, NaCl. The brine in NaOH production undergoes electrolysis to produce chlorine gas and NaOH. In the mercury process of NaOH production, chloride ions from the brine are oxidized at the graphite anode to produce chlorine gas. 2Cl- → Cl2 (g) + 2eSodium ions are reduced at the flowing mercury cathode to create an amalgam which flows into a separate compartment where it is sprayed with water to produce NaOH. 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 (g) The brine in sodium carbonate production supplies the sodium ions and creates an ammoniated brine from which sodium bicarbonate crystalises. The overall reaction for the Solvay process is 2NaCl + CaCO3 → Na2CO3 + CaCl2 The brine must first be purified to remove other cations e.g Ca2+ ions. This is done through precipitation reactions. The brine is then pumped to the Solvay Tower where it reacts with carbon dioxide to produce sodium bicarbonate. NH3 + NaCl + H2O + CO2 → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl The sodium bicarbonate is then decomposed with heat to make sodium carbonate. An environmental impact of the mercury process is the loss of mercury to the environment. Mercury is toxic and can bioaccumulate in organisms and cause neurological damage. Assessment : It is a dangerous process for organisms in the environment and has been phased out of use. An environmental impact of the Solvay process can be the disposal of waste calcium chloride. Although some can be used commercially most is waste. If near the ocean the salts can be pumped in and will have a minimum effect on the environment however, further away from the ocean, the release of excess calcium chloride into waterways would cause an increase in salinity which could kill aquatic organisms and plants. Assessment: This can cause serious damage to ecosystems and measures such as evaporating ponds and land disposal are necessary to avoid the consequences of river release of calcium chloride.

Distinguish between an anionic and cationic detergent in of their chemical properties.
Sample answer Anionic detergents are alkyl benzene sulfonates with a negatively charged end.
the negative end on the ion allows it to strip oil from negative surfaces and is a strong cleaning agent Cationic detergents detergents are positively charged with a modified ammonium ion on the end of long alkyl chain.
The positive end of the ion allows it to attach itself to negative surfaces creating a soft finish to the cleaning eg in conditioners and fabric softeners. OR Biocidal ( a chemical property) Marking Criteria Describes each detergent (must have the full correct structure) and gives a chemical property that distinguishes between the two. Describes the chemical properties of both detergents (structures not complete) Describes one detergent correctly OR Outlines the chemical properties of each detergent Identifies anionic with a negative end and cationic with a positive end Outcomes : H4,H9
